Does he really like me?

Here is a brief background on me. I don't date much because I'm extremely picky. Lately I have allowed a guy to get close to me, but he is dragging his feet; which is causing me to lose interest. With each day and text, instead of getting closer chemistry wise, I feel he is falling into "friend zone". I was hoping for more and I really wanted to start something with him. Either he is not interested enough to try or he is extremely shy. He barely respond to my text and when he does the conversation dies because he doesn't even make an attempt. He barely calls me when he used to call tons. There is no communication, I don't even know if I'm a girlfriend or a friend to him. I know it's over. There is no more spark, I'm just annoyed because this is the first time in years, that I actually tried. I hate letting go once I let people in. One, I barely let people in. Two, I was rejected repeatedly by a parent, which has really messed me up emotionally. I know there is nothing there because he barely ask me about myself like before, and when he does it, it more like its out of habit not that he cares. I know what to do, but like I mentioned its hard for me to let people go once I've let them in. Even if its briefly. *sight* There was no sexual encounters

    I think this is more of a confidence issue, than whether this boy likes you or not. Besides, he does not sound all that interested since he is not making an effort to keep the conversation going - it sounds like you are pushing too hard, like you settle onto this guy, you've decided to open up to him, so you expect the same in return.

    I think you should just stop trying, just stop looking for someone, and before you know it, you will have naturally opened up with your emotions and that right person will have shown you the love that you are searching for and never got from your parent. What you have went through, or are still going through is very sad, and I'm sorry, you should not have to go through that, but I'm glad you posted this question so that you can get help and that you can fix yourself so that you can finally be happy.

    Do not worry about this boy, there will be plenty others out there. For now, he is just a waste of your time, and remember this, HE does not deserve YOU. Always look for someone who will make you happy, and who will make an effort every day to put a smile on your face - I'm not saying be difficult about it, you know, let it be an equal balance between the two of you, but he should love you more.

    First, here's a comforting hug. >:)<

    Second, don't waste your time on something that isn't worth your time. I know you barely fall head over heels for someone. But we can't control any person's feelings towards someone except for ourselves right?

    There are 2 choices. It's either you try to move on or try hard to impress him if you really like him.

    For me, i guess you have to move on. There are many guys out there for you. Someday you'll find a guy who will always call you, text you, tell you that you're beautiful, and every single thing you want from your dream guy.

    It's really hard though. But it's the only way to do (never commit suicide or do drugs).

    Dress to impress. Confidence is the key. And always be happy. :)
